"The National Association of Black Journalists assailed the error, calling it “outdated, offensive and racist,” while noting St. Louis’ population is 43% black."

In the future will we get alerts in the mail when a current acceptable term is deemd “outdated, offensive and racist”??

Ironically, they sure scream for the NAACP in a hurry.

Descriptive terms are a constantly moving goalpost, because there’s always some idiot out there looking to feel offended about something. On top of that, once the descriptive term starts getting used in a perjorative manner, because some members of the group it describes get out of control, that iteration of the term will become outdated.

Not to mention the double-standard around some of those descriptive terms.

What’s the big deal? We all have earth-tone colored skin. As a matter fact, I’m looking to replace the carpeting in my living room with a retro-chocolate “Ray Nagin” shag.

One hundred years ago mortgages were typically limited to 50% of property value.

A number of factors can lower urban housing values:
1. the school system
2. crime
3. the percentage of units in the area needing repairs and modernization
4. lifestyle factors such as shopping
5. property tax
6. pension funding gaps

As has long been said: location, location, location

“Tonight, colored homeowners are sounding the alarm when it comes to undervalued home appraisals,” anchor Cory Stark, who is white, said on air. St. Louis TV station, KMOV, was forced to apologize after Cory Stark referred to minority homeowners as "colored homeowners" on air.

JD Sosnoff, KMOV vice president and general manager, and Stark tried to do damage control over the apparent slip-up as criticism grew over the cringe remark.

“It was in an original script as ‘homeowners of color’ and was inadvertently changed and mistakenly read on air,” Sosnoff said,

This just illustrates how few real journalists are on the air these days. Instead, they hire someone who looks good on camera, and tell them to read word for word whatever is on the teleprompter in front of them. A real journalist would have thought "that can't be right" and have adjusted his reporting accordingly.

Public displays of anger can lower property value.

The public use of foul language can lower property value.

The reality is, there is no fixed “preferred” term for any group of people.

The late Justice Scalia said something like “I’m an American, not Italian-American.”

I know black people who still prefer black, while others prefer African-American.

I haven’t heard anyone prefer to be called “colored.” Yet, in Human Resources, the phrase “People of Color” and “Women of Color” is on the ascent. This is a wide net, including people who may be from Taiwan, China, India, South or Central America, or are black.

Even in the LGBT etc arena, it’s a mess. There are gays who don’t want anything to do with trans, and there is now TERF (trans-exclusionary radical feminism or feminist, a term used to describe women who oppose trans people).

And now, white people are jumping into the fray. Everyone wants a label or a ribbon to put on their lapel. Oy vey.

Most of the time, if I ask someone what they want to be called, they say Bob or Mary.

Clearly the only solution is to burn the city down.

There is a certain group of people whom were cannot be specifically quantified, having a problem which cannot be described, in a certain undisclosed area. Film at 11…… “what, no film either?”……. 🤔

National Association for the Advancement of Colored People

Women of Color Against Violence

National African American Gun Association

National Afro-American Council

United Negro College Fund

Once somebody decides which of the demographic terms exemplified above I can use and which I can’t, please let me know, because now it’s kinda confusing.

Black = racist

The racist Black minority-majority is a plague on American cities. Fortunately, tens of thousands of migrants are coming to oust them

The only thing the Democrat/Communist Party (the Left) knows is color .... just like the racists they are. "Negro" works for me ... although not in all situations. When I was growing up in Baltimore, if you called a negro "black" you were asking for trouble -- big trouble: "Who you callin' black, boy?!!"

Democrat/Communists sure get triggered easily, don't they?
(Oops! Can't say "trigger" any more; it's "trigga".)
